What a day this has been. Thankfully, everything is fine now, but it was an interesting morning and one we don't care to repeat. I had an entirely different post in my head for an Easter post, but that went by way of the trash bin.
Don woke me up at 6:00, out of a deep sleep, by shaking me. "Get up - I fell and am bleeding all over the place." Not the best wake-up call. Having Mario give me kitty kisses or stare in my eyes only an inch from my face is much more pleasant he he.
Don's description was a little dramatic - he was dripping blood on the carpeting but it wasn't all over the place - just a trail going from the bed into the bathroom. I'm sure he was still stunned that he fell out of bed (yes - fell out of bed") and apparently hit his nose on a table nearby and landed on his face. His face and nose have a beautiful, bright red, rug burn on them, his pride is wounded, but otherwise, he's okay. He is lucky he didn't break something!
It seems he was dreaming he had fallen out of bed and banged his head. Well, in reality, his dream wasn't a dream - it was real.
Since he is on asprin every day as a blood thinner (after having had open heart surgery about 12 years ago), I was worried about either a concussion or internal bleeding in his head, so I suggested we get dressed right away and drive to the emergency room.
Four hours, one cat scan of his head, blood work, and an EKG, later - he was pronounced okay.
Being a Saturday morning, the ER didn't seem unusually busy, but they had to wait for all test results to come back, wait for a doctor to read them, wait for the discharge nurse, wait for, wait for, wait for......... They sure did give him a good going over tho.
We finally got home at 1:00 after stopping off at the drug store for a prescription - very thankful that things were not as bad as they could have been. I promptly called the man who steam cleans our carpeting, and he came right out (was I lucky or what?) He performed his magic (he he - his business is called Magic Carpet Cleaning and he did a fantastic job. There is no sign of an emergency situation in this house.
So, on a happier note - Happy Easter or PassOver or Happy Day blessings to all of you.
Until next time -

ReplyDeleteDUSTY: Sending Therapy Doggie Hugs from Hurley and I. Sorry your wake up and Sat a.m. were filled w/ Emergency. So glad Mr. Don was not injured severely. HURLEY: No one likes to wait in the ED, but we're glad you had an ED nearby and the Mr. Don got thoroughly checked. Sure hope he doesn't have much pain after hitting his nose and face. *licks and nose-taps*
ReplyDeleteGosh, sure glad Don is all right. I bet he was scared. Poor thing. Glad hs is A OK though. Now you can have a very Happy Easter. Take care and no more falling out of the bed.
ReplyDeleteOh my!!! I can only imagine how terrified you had to be!! Poor Don!
ReplyDeleteI did chuckle though at how guys tend to exaggerate when they see blood, they just aren't accustomed to it like women are.
thankfully Don is ok and thank goodness you were able to get the carpet cleaned right away before it set!
Hope your Easter is only full of PLEASANT events!
